What do you give to your young sons to try to avoid them turning into either chuds or shitlibs, but instead loving goodness, truth, and beauty and seeking wisdom?

Fiction obviously. Of course they have to start with the Alcibiades and Ethics when they can manage them.

Books are a good thing, but for what you mentioned there, mainly you have to push him to have some good fucking sex, while not becoming an slave to pussy in the process. That's the common denominator between those archetypes you mentioned (Either becoming a pathetic self defeated outcast that never experienced human warm, or some hylic cog simp slave). Some lifting helps too. Books overshadowing worthless entertaiment while being aware of the culture at this time is also a plus. None of it will matter if the boy doesn't get initiated and soak his cookies on some milk, asap when puberty sets in. Mark my words, don't let this happen to him.
